Upgrading the TalkSwitch Firmware
We are continually looking for ways to enhance your communications capabilities.
When new features are added, we want TalkSwitch users to have immediate access to
the update.
The ease with which TalkSwitch's firmware program can be updated and the
convenience of having updates readily available to users on our website, makes it
possible for us to provide quick and easy TalkSwitch enhancements!
TalkSwitch’s firmware program (or the programming code that operates your
TalkSwitch) is located on a 'Flash EPROM'. This means that the Code operating your
TalkSwitch can be 'updated' without removing the chip that contains the code.
Because of this, you can easily update your TalkSwitch by disk or by visiting our
website at www.talkswitch.com and downloading an update from the Support area.
Step # 1
The first step is to select and download the proper update file from the Centrepoint
Technologies website (www.talkswitch.com). It is possible that you will also need to
download the corresponding configuration software. In this case, the firmware and
software will be integrated in one file.
To identify the
appropriate update
file, you must first
determine your
TalkSwitch firmware
and software version.
You can find your
TalkSwitch version
numbers by selecting
'About' from the main
splash screen or on
the 'About' tab in the
configuration.
Write down the software and firmware version numbers and then go to the Support
section of our website at www.talkswitch.com. You will find instructions there to help
you to select and download the appropriate upgrade.
